King of the web jungle with WLP V3 for the fastest possible image loading time
March 22, 2025
Nobody likes a slow website. Whether you’re browsing on your phone or working on a laptop, waiting for images to load can be a major pain point, and ‘lazy loading’ still makes us wait. That’s why WLP v3 automatically scales images and converts them to WebP, the true king of the web jungle. 🦁
The Problem with Big, Bulky Images
High-quality images are great—but they’re also huge. Uploading massive JPEGs or PNGs can slow your website. And when your site is slow, people leave. Simple as that.
The Solution: Automatic Scaling + Webp
To keep things optimized, WLP automatically scales images natively to multiple Webp sizes. Whenever you upload an image, WLP create smaller versions.
How It Works:
When you upload an image, WLP generates different sizes—like 1.5x, 2x, 3x, and more. This way, immediately afer uploading an image, you can choose the right zoom size, making things as efficient as possible, no image editor!
🌟 WebP: The King of the Web Jungle for Images
Scaling images is great, but why stop there? WLP also converts every image to WebP, “the king of the web jungle” in terms of of image formats.
Why WebP Rules:
- Smaller, Faster Images: WebP images are generally 25-35% smaller, sometimes even 10-20X smaller than PNG—without sacrificing quality (lossless).
- Handles Everything: Like PNG, it supports transparency. Like GIF, it supports animations. But WebP does it all more efficient.
- Speed Boost: Smaller images mean faster pages and happier users.
According to Mozilla, “approximately 97% of web browsers support the WebP format“, which given it’s benefits, begs the question: what are we waiting for? Perhaps it’s the release of WhiteLabelPress Version 3!
